Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a hereditary disorder of neutrophil with defective killing and digesting of ingested catalase-positive bacteria or fungi in spite of normal phagocytosis. Dissemination of ingested live organisms results in multiple granuloma in reticuloendothelial system and multiple abscesses manifested by recurrent pus-draining suppurative lymphadenopathy, subcutanous abscess, or impetiginous skin rahses, pheumonitis, and hepatosplenomegaly, ultimately resulting in death.

We experienced a case of salmonella group C meningits in a 3 month old male. His initial chief complaints at the admission were high fever, lethargy, irregular respiration and arrythmias.
Diagnosis was confirmed by lumbar puncture, blood culture and CSF culture. Ceftriaxone was used and recovered with some sequelae such as irritability, generalized spasticity and mild regression of psychomotor development. |
